Anything else?

Prusa slicer provides two builds, like Orca does. Prusa has "newer distros" and "older distros" naming conventions, while Orca has "Ubuntu" in the second build, so I'm not sure if it's on the same basis as PrusaSlicer.

For me, Prusa older distros doesn't work and has trouble loading libwebkit2gtk, just like Orca-nonubuntu. On the other hand, Prusa newer-distros works perfectly for me. However Orca-Ubuntu doesn't.

See prusa3d/PrusaSlicer#12931

libwebkit2gtk

This will always be the biggest problem with these slicer.
Since day 1 with BambuLab, this always gave us hell.
Unfortunately, this is a system-wide thing so you cannot just update it without corrupting the entire system.

Have a look on the ticket I just opened, that should help you to get the older version to run again, it is better than no slicer.

Thanks, but which ticket?

[HakunMatat4]

I solved the problem following the ticket 7210.
You have to update that package and set the PRINTER_IP:PORT

As for the package I mentioned earlier, there is a package with similar name which you cannot just update, I think I got those mixed.
libwebkitgtk is a content engine library.

sudo nala install libwebkitgtk-6.0-4 libjavascriptcoregtk-6.0-1 ( the first package pulled the second )
Set [IP]:7125 or mDNS works trident01.home.arpa:7125

[TheRealOne78]

Alright, that kind of works. Tho I rather made some temp softlinks from 4.1 to 4.0. I don't get you got Orca to run with 6.0, since I also have 6.0 installed on my system.

I will close this issue since there's another duplicate issue.
